Ohio State is keeping a 2028 in-state DL on its priority list early

The Ohio State coaching staff is heavily prioritizing local talent for the 2028 recruiting cycle, establishing a strong daily connection with local defensive lineman Thomas Minor. Minor, who attends Big Walnut High School, fields constant text messages from assistant Larry Johnson as the program aims to keep the defender close to home.

The standout prospect holds numerous scholarship offers from major Midwest contenders and plans to attend the upcoming regular season matchup against Michigan in Columbus. Meanwhile, the program is also hosting elite 2028 pass-catcher Madoxx Davis for an unofficial visit during the upcoming weekend homecoming contest against Maryland.
